I try to retrieve the value of RBS in Enterprise Resource in Project Server by using C#/ CSOM. Unfortunately, I just got the Resource Name, as for the value of RBS, I always cannot extract any value from this field. Sometimes, the value of RBS is wrong or the same. I shared the code for you to look at and hope the seasoned people can help me to address it or sharing some idea in this. I appreciate your help. Thanks. Explanation: The Enterprise Resources will be extracted by ID. "projectContext" will load specificRes with all Custom Fields. I'm going to retrieve the value of a specific field (RBS) Finally, When I specify to retrieve the value of "RBS", no matter how I change the Resource Id, the value of RBS is the same Is there any idea on this issue? Thanks for everyone's help. var specificRes = projectContext.EnterpriseResources.GetById(new Guid("46914ae8-3c55-488d-a045-4d1a5aaf1e74").ToString()); projectContext.Load(specificRes, r => r.Name, r => r.CustomFields, r => r.CustomFields.IncludeWithDefaultProperties( lu => lu.LookupTable, lu => lu.LookupEntries)); projectContext.ExecuteQuery(); var cusField = specificRes.CustomFields.FirstOrDefault(cf => cf.InternalName == "Custom_000039b78bbe4ceb82c4fa8c0c400284"); projectContext.Load(cusField); projectContext.ExecuteQuery(); Console.WriteLine(cusField.LookupEntries.First().FullValue);57Views0likes7CommentsTask Control - Actual Start and Actual Finish Wrong data
Hello team. Once again I very much want to receive your dear help. I have a work resource that has been allocated a task with 5% (11 mins) of its availability, in a 220 mins task. (...this task also has other work resources). In the task usage view, in the control table, this resource is updated with the actual work of 5 mins. It is from this moment that the calculations of real start and real end give me incorrect data. I would like to know why is this happening?2.1KViews0likes13CommentsMS Project Formula
I am relatively new to writing formulas, and am totally stumped. The company I work for builds instruments which all need to go through our 5 test chambers and 5 “clean rooms”. I manage a schedule which tracks when each instrument will be occupying either a chamber or room, and would like to write a formula to flag potential conflicts. The formula will need to look for tasks with overlapping dates that also have matching data in the “room/chamber” column. Is this possible? I hope I explained this properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!1.2KViews0likes3CommentsRounding of partial percentage of a workday
Hi I am using MS Project Pro. I observer something strange happening to my project plan maybe somebody can help explain what is happening: I have task called "Status Report" which is allocated 1hr to do this task. This is allocated to James Bond whose hourly rate is $50 and his normal working period per day 8hr. Hence, 12.5% is basically 1hr (0.125 x 8=1). So I assign to task "Status Report" 12.5% and assign it to James Bond. This is what I am observing: 1.when I type 12.5% MS Project displays it as 13% and calculates the cost as 0.125 X $50=$6,25 - fine all well and good 2.now when I change the allocation to say 10% MS Project displays it as 10% and calculates the cost as 0.1 x $50 = $5 - all correct no issue as well 3.then when I revert back to 12.5% MS displays it as 13% BUT now calculates the cost as 0.13 x $50 = $6.50 - here it starts show inconsistency Why when I switch back to 12.5% in (3) it actually uses 13% x %50 = $6.50 which is not what I want this slightly more than 1hr's cost, I tried doing various changes etc I cannot get to the status back as shown in (1) above. Why is this so? Can someone let me know how I can fix the cost calculation as 0.125 x $50 and NOT as 0.13 x $50 Help much appreciated.

Hello! I am relatively new at Microsoft Project, and as I've worked, I was wondering how to tackle this problem I've encountered where I'd like to essentially present multiple tasks in one line. For some background, I am compiling a large list of all the active projects in a certain time period. All these projects compete for the same few resource groups, which I'll call Apples, Bananas, and Cats. These resources are used sporadically throughout all projects, but sometimes only for a single day, with long gaps with other irrelevant resources between them. I have the resources color coded, such that when a resource is entered for a certain task, the task bar changes to a corresponding color. However, if considering a project where say, I will need Apples 8 times throughout a 3 month period, the gantt chart gets a little long, and with 20 projects under similar circumstances, this is where the problem arises. I'm trying to figure out a way to compress the projects into a single color coded bar, similar to the one I've crudely drawn in Microsoft Paint. Then, I'd like to print MANY of these style of bars for MANY projects. Any advice? Thank you so much for your time!3.4KViews0likes1CommentMigration to a hosted environment
Hello, I'd like to get some feedback regarding migrating Project Web Apps (PWA) from your local environments to a hosted solution and therefore a content database migration is no longer an option. In addition some departments will be migrating from Project Server 2010 while the hosted environment is Project Server 2016. A PWA will already be created for each department and users will no longer have access to Central Administration. The end users from the department will migrate their own projects to this new PWA using Project Professional. It is also important to point out that departments do not use custom solutions such as workflows. The only customizations includes out-of-box solutions such as enterprise custom fields and lookup tables. Here are some of the Microsoft TechNet articles I have already reviewed Software requirements for Project Server 2016 Deploy Project Server 2016 Upgrade to Project Server 2016 So here are the questions- What's the best or recommended path for the Project Server 2010 users to migrate? Should they 1st have a local copy of their projects on their desktop/laptops, upgrade their Project Professional to 2016 and then publish it to the new Project Server 2016? Same question as above but for Project Server 2013 users. Anything that affects reporting when migrating from 2010 or 2013 to 2016?1KViews0likes1Comment
